I didn’t quite, “get”, the bronzed OFR finish until this build. It really compliments the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polara Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 That looks sensational. Really upscale but also kind of steampunk at once. Howzit play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say "you can't just make something out of wood, leather, and bronze and call it steampunk!" ... but let's face it, that's basically their jam. If you could add some lenses or portholes to it, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an interesting observation - never even considered that but it certainly makes sense. It plays and sounds really well. I have some small tweaks to make to the action, and I have to learn how to use a tremolo responsibly lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
